The meadow draws in deep <br />Taking me back with its inhale <br />I walk as if in sleep <br />And find me at the water’s edge <br />Still taken by her beauty <br /> <br />Doves circle high above <br />Forming messages in the sky <br />Like the day of your send off <br />They tell me that to die <br />Is just the beginning <br /> <br />I cast a wish into the night <br />And pray my hopes are heard <br />As the stars fade out of sight <br />They fall into the dawn <br />To bring the moving on of time <br /> <br />Another party ended <br />And one more day of life consumed <br />This tired restless soul in me <br />Still searching for the endless sun <br />When I’ll return to my father’s arms <br /> <br />I recall his depth of knowing <br />The secrets to life’s meaning <br />They went with him when he left <br />Yet I go on believing <br />Now we stand together in memory <br /> <br />I love you more than I can put in poems <br />And often dream we’ll meet again <br />For this is when I’ll know for sure <br />That somewhere pure <br />There is a world less ordinary<br /><br />Alison Mary Dunn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-world-less-ordinary/
